Zi Villa & Zi Beach Cottage, in Zanzibar

Enjoy an incredible holiday in either our large family home (Zi Villa) or our new smaller home (Zi Beach Cottage) which both lead directly onto a secluded beach with the finest white powdery sand.

Frequented only by the local fishermen and the occasional guests from the nearby hotel. Swimming at high tide, but lots of deep pods to wallow in at low tide. Low tide also enables one to snorkel around the coral heads in front of the house where hundreds of small colourful fish hide in the shallows.

The homes are located on the North East coast opposite the Mnemba Atoll and about 40 minutes from the airport, Stonetown and the beaches of Nungwi in the North.

“Paradise everyday” – WOW! We spent a whole week in this gorgeous small private villa with our very own private pool for when the tide was out.

If there is anything else you need they will purchase for you. Fantastic free WiFi. Great TV is available ...

“Excellent setting, amazing staff” – We spent an unbelievable, very lazy week at Zi Villa Beach Cottage. The staff (George, Sam et al) are amazing. Come hungry as there is so much food at each meal – it took us half a week to get a portion of food that we could actually finish. The food is excellent, freshly prepared and very tasty. The curry sauce in the calamari curry could be eaten with everything. George or Sam will discuss ...

“Home from home” – Visited Zanzibar for the first time in a 2 family group – loved the island, history and people and the house is truly rustic and out of the way.

Views from the Master Bedroom terrace over Mnemba island were spectacular, so ...

“Fabulous villa with friendly and helpful staff” – Stayed in this wonderful villa for 4 nights after a safari holiday, perfect place to relax. We were a group of 2 families with 4 children between 10 – 14yrs, pool area is lovely, beach great, though do need to be careful of sea urchins. Kids loved playing in the waves on the beach when tide was in. All the staff were really lovely and looked after us very well without us ...
